Celebrity Inspiration: The Pixie Haircut

Gamine and gorgeous, yet classic — the short pixie hairstyle takes guts. The payoff is how well it shows off your features. New York City hairstylist Sean James Decuers says it's most flattering with wavy hair and an oval, square, or heart-shaped face. Going to take the plunge and have your stylist create this 'do for you? Ask for a short, soft, wispy-layered cut with enough length to allow for face-framing bangs in the front and some coverage at the nape — or take your favorite celeb-inspired pixie picture with you for a reference.
